"I got tired of eurorack and put it on hold for a while.
But what happens when 8bitmixedtape has this great audio bootloader?
It inspired me to make the 3HP DSP module and got me hooked again.
The module works the same as my dsp-Host.
3 analog inputs. 2 of them with attenuators and one audio output.
So whats so different with this one?
It can be reprogrammed through the audio out jack.
Without a programmer!
Just play a wavefile from a phone, MP3 player or your PC with the firmware and it’s a new module.
Use the Arduino IDE to make your own programs or use the downloadable editor to make VCOs, filter, delays or anything you can imagine and reprogram the module with an audio cable.
It is of course open-source and all info including code and PCBs for the Phase Distortion Oscillator can be found at:
New playlist of Brighton Modular Meet performances. You can find the previous playlist here. I actually added this one to that post as well, so you can hop over there for both in one post if you like. And of course, see the Brighton label at the bottom of this post to bring up all posts for the event.

"Manipulating a self generating patch (inspired by Todd Barton’s ‘Krell’ patch) on the Buchla 200e, with additional noises coming from the Cocoquantus and processing via Eventide Space effects.
Simon’s soundtrack to the radio drama, Akiha Den Den, is released on July 28th. Radio interference, snatches of intercepted broadcasts, codes, tones, signals and other haunting sounds from the wireless feature heavily alongside the soundtrack conjured up on an array of synthesisers including the Buchla 200e Electric Music Box and EMS VCS3. Occasionally the voices of Akiha Den Den's inhabitants burn through the white noise offering a glimpse of their tangled patchbay like story.
Released by Castles in Space on clear vinyl, the physical package includes an Akiha Den Den booklet (designed by Nick Taylor) and Bonus CD filled with over 70 minutes of Buchla Modular, EMS, drones, dramatics, cassette 4 track abuse and noise from the Akiha Den Den radio series.
"Just messing about, but I wanted to sweep through some of the sounds I like best from the Minitaur, and see how well it pairs up with the Minifooger analog delay, without any reverb.
No additional effects were used, and it was recorded into an Olympus portable audio recorder. Genome (sequencer) on the iPad is supplying the pattern to the Minitaur."
"Showing off basic triggering using the upcoming 4ms Stereo Triggered Sampler (STS).
Ships with a 32GB SD card, loaded with over 200 high quality samples from musicians such as Richard Devine, Wobbly, Moor Mother, Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe, Joseph Pailo, Russell E.L Butler, Hugo Paris & Marc Kate, and more..."
"It's party time. This short song uses some old instructional videos for samples, namely "What Makes a Good Party?" by Coronet Instructional Films. Crack a beer, pop a bottle, and enjoy!"
"Nyborg is a compact analogue synthesizer. Analogue – as in really analogue. Aside from the MIDI chip (which has to be digital), everything else is totally analogue using real transistors and op-amps. There are no CPU stabilized and quantized circuits, no DCOs, no digital LFOs and no digital EGs, as found on other so called analogue synths. The circuitry is based on designs dating back to the mid-1970s. So Nyborg has a genuine old sound.
"Oberheim OB-X 8-voice analog synth. Recently completely serviced by Mike Metz of Thesis Audio. Power supply has been rebuilt, all voice cards serviced and calibrated, Encor OBXMK MIDI conversion kit installed expanding memory to 128 patches, panel buttons replaced, and keyboard rebuilt and tweaked so it's silky-smooth...
You can hear it here: [embed above]
All sounds created on the OB, some stock, some programmed, recorded into my DAW via the MIDI out, played back via the MIDI in."
